New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees apologized multiple times last week for his comments against kneeling during the national anthem. His wife, Brittany, followed it up with an apology of her own on Saturday.
In an Instagram post on the “Brees Dream Foundation” page, Brittany posted a message which featured two quotes from Martin Luther King Jr., and comments of her own that started with, “WE ARE THE PROBLEM.”
“I write this with tears in my eyes and I hope you all hear our hearts,” Brittany Brees wrote. “I have read these quotes and scripture 1000 times and every time I read it and the words sink into my heart. I think yes this is what it’s all about...Only until the last few days, until we experienced the death threats we experienced the hate… Did I realize that these words were speaking directly to us.. how could anyone who knows us or has had interactions with us think that Drew or I have a racist bone in our body? But that’s the whole point. Somehow we as white America, we can feel good about not being racist, feel good about loving one another as God loves us.
“We can feel good about educating our children about the horrors of slavery and history. We can read books to our children about Martin Luther King, Malcolm X., Hank Aaron, Barack Obama, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman.. and feel like we are doing our part to raise our children to love , be unbiased and with no prejudice,” Brittany Breez continued.

No, Drew’s racist teammates are the problem.
Senseless capitulation to the mob and it earns them nothing.
I miss Windflier, too. Every day. :’(
It will never be enough.
FR won’t let posts from some sites here, so google “black on white crime” and you will see where the violence and racism is really coming from.
They live in a gated uptown community in New Orleans.
What Drew and momma didn’t think about are his four kids.
But they probably are in their home in California
“I thought people were to be judged as individuals, not by their race. That was King’s message.”
Indeed.
Martin Luther King is being defecated and urinated upon by blacks.
I've only watched 2 or 3 NFL games in the last few years, guess I am done forever. Not interested in watching a bunch of weak-kneed SJW's running around in tights anyway.
At least Keef had the good sense to bump the charge up to Murder 2. The way the MN Supreme Court has ruled on Murder 3 charges, charging Pyscho Chauvin with that one would have ended up with him swiftly walking free.
Sports teams cannot chase me away fast enough. Just as my income is starting to peak. Oh well, their loss. My golf game will be getting much more attention.
Who was in charge of the MPD system? I’d bet there are Democrats in every part of the power structure from the mayor to the city council to the police board to the police chief. Minneapolis, you own this problem.
She seems like a nice lady, if panicked. Drew, man...this was predictable. If you didn’t want the fallout, you should have kept quiet.
Yes, integrity and guts “Gone With The Brees”.
Drew and his brainless wife should do commercials for “kneepads, crying towels and chapstick”.
I really miss him this week. He was so wise and funny. And he understood all of it, south central, and the rest of us.
Nicely put.
He and his wife homeschooled their kids. Can’t imagine how much they must miss him. He left such a great impression here on FR. I loved his constant corrections - the perpetual teacher in him. Sure admire how he moved his family out of LA to Texas.
Glad you miss him, too.
I can just imagine what our very own 'one-note & one-note only' Antifaish FR trolls are going to post on our NFL Live Thread if there are waves of players kneeling during the National Anthem with grinning Rodger's consent.
I keep asking "What planet this is?" when I awake to each and every new day, and that does not look to ever be ending and answered--
Be asleep/off the Internet for a week and the whole world changes.
I really do. I wish we’d have had longer with him. And it’s sad that people like him move out of LA, leaving us with, well, a lot of unthinking and unquestioning people.
